This Community Expo was an amazing event! There was something for everyone, from educational opportunities to artists and entrepreneurs to a variety of vendors. The Capital of New York State Black Expo was incredibly organized and well-run, with engaging and inspiring speakers, music, and entertainment. It was a great way to learn more about the black community in our state and build relationships within it. Highly recommend!

"As an entrepreneur myself we understand what it takes to go from table to brick and mortar to systems and sales funnels. I’m excited to see the vibrance of Black businesses in this area, because it’s definitely needed. All of Buffalo, Albany, Schenectady and Troy... Everybody should be here!"
